      Excellent site.  Clear explanations of musical terms and processes for self-directed learning by approx. 3rd grade and older, and for younger children along with their parents (musically-trained or not) or teachers. Very friendly and accessible interface.
  •  
    The graphics on this website are amazing- any child would enjoy browsing through and learning about musical instruments, composition, and composers. Also very neat is the game where you can "play" different musical instruments. The numbers on the computer keypad become notes in a scale!

It is a place where young children can be introduced to the instruments and inner workings of an orchestra.

Hosts of Flat Beethoven write the children back and send him to another place. FUN!

    This is another Orchestra-sponsored website with fun activities for kids. It can be used during spare time, or units could be developed around it. The game I found which I liked in particular is called "Beethoven's Baseball". You get to pick your composer team, and then click on Beethoven to throw the "pitches", which are questions. The game keeps your score and is interactive. The website also has a "listen by composer" section, as well as other instructions for activities including making your own instrument.

MUSAIC - New World Symphony - 0 views

    This website has access to many professional musicians showcasing their talents through the New World Symphony. They have videos with specific instrumental instruction. If I wanted to show a private bassoon student a website where they can listen to many players, they can access this site and simply search bassoon and listen to famous solos such as The Rite of Spring. This is a great resource to demonstrate what professional musicians sound like in order for them to practice and mimic these sounds.

Gustavo Dudamel : Dvorak - Symphony no. 9 - 4th movement - Allegro con fuoco - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    I know this isn't a "website", per se, but I need to share Dudamel conducting the fourth movement of Dvorak's "New World Symphony" since I just bookmarked the listening map. This is such a wonderful performance, and it demonstrates how crucial the conductor is in coercing a certain sound from the performers!
